air leak

I am losing the little hair I got left. There is air in the pool, and the pump is not priming all way (1/3 of the pump basket has no water), and yes, the water level is mid-level to the skimmer. To try and fix it this is what I have tried: Replaced the pump. The old was over 15 years old...

Hi, I tried few things but clueless about the problem. My skimmer suction is very low, there is hardly water flowing into skimmers. Skimmers baskets are clean, filter cap is sealed and not transparent so can’t open, backwashed, water level is above half of skimmer line, pressure is around 10 ...

I’m getting bubbles coming out of my return jets, but I’m not seeing any air in the pump baskets (other than maybe on bubble just hanging out). I also see a lot of air through the window on a pressure-side valve. (See pictures below) How is air getting into my system? It can’t be on the...

Hello TFP! My husband and I just bought a new house with a 20-year-old in-ground concrete pool. It has two skimmers, two jets, and no main drain. The pump and filter are both below grade (in our basement). The pump is a Hayward Super Pump and it connects to a sand filter. We're pool beginners...

Having issues with pump not even filling to the top of strainer. :( and my chlorinator flow meter often says low flow to pool. This is at priming mode 3200rpm. I have a Hayward Tristar 3200. 1.85HP. Replaced the impeller, seals and gaskets throughout. Also looked for air leaks with...

Hi, Having an issue on the pressure side with air getting into the system when the pump gets turned off and I cannot seem to locate the leak. Started noticing about 8 months ago with a little air being forced through returns whenever the pump would turn on. Gradually got worse so I decided to...

I have a dedicated return for a Polaris 360 (no booster pump) that, when my pump is on High, air will gradually accumulate into the system over the course of an hour. Eventually, the air intake flattens out. When left overnight, I notice the basket to have about 50% water 50% air, and will...

Hey guys, I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I'm on day 4 of a SLAM and I thought I would add some DE powder to my sand filter to speed it along. The filter is a 22 inch ecokleer sand filter that says it takes 250lbs of sand. The sand was put in last year when the pool was installed. Pump...

Trying to get my pool going for the summer. I have a 25k gallon pool with a Hayward super pump and sand filter. I have a skimmer and bottom drain. I knew we had to change the sand this year so we did that. Filled the pool up, hooked up pump, filter, and piping. Filled the pump basket with the...

Please help!!! The pool guy said it was normal but it doesn’t look normal at all. As soon as it’s on it works great and pressure is good for about 15 minutes. Then slowly air bubbles start to form inside the pump skimmer until it becomes one big air bubble and no water movement in the pump...

Recently changed the grids (and manifold- which was terribly broken- and stand pipe oring and reinforced gasket that goes around the tank belly .... oh, and also pump basket and pump basket lid’s oring) of my hayward DE filter. Air is finding its way into the top of the filter tank, but NO...
